Losing My Mind

Chapter 5

After the meal we all hugged and said our goodbyes. Knowing them, we would probably have another dinner later for the tour send-off.

Charlie escorted me out to the car and opened the door for me. He hopped into his seat and started the drive home.

"Thanks for coming out with me tonight" he said to me.

"Of course! You know I love hanging out with you." I smiled at him.

"I'm really glad you're gonna come visit me this summer!"

"Me too! I'm so excited. It's gonna be so fun to travel." I said.

"Speaking of that, we need to figure out when you're gonna come visit. Are you free tonight? Do you wanna come over tonight and talk about it?" he asked me.

"That'd be great! My parents have been on vacation for awhile so the house is lonely." I laughed.

"Yeah my family is all at our beach house until I go on tour." he told me.

We drove the rest of the way back to his place and again without fail he came to open the car door for me.

We walked up to the door and he pulled out his keys from his pocket to open the door. He showed me to the living room where I took off my heels and sat on the couch.

"Do you want something from the kitchen?" Charlie asked me walking towards the fridge.

"I'll have a water please." I said. 10 seconds later he returned with 2 glasses of water in his hands.

He set the waters down on the table in front of us and sat next to me on the other end of the couch.

"So," he said "When are you free to visit me?"

"Well, just my luck, I'm free all summer! My parents are taking a break from traveling this summer and I don't have to work. So really I guess I should be asking you when you want me to come visit you." I laughed.

"How bout in the middle of the tour? That way I'll spend some time alone, but you can come when I start the feel homesick." He smiled back at me.

I nodded my head in agreement. He made total sense.

"So how about the midwest shows? End of July, early August. 'Bout two weeks?"

"Sounds great to me. So would I just fly and meet you somewhere?"

"Yeah, I have a few free days before the first show in Chicago so I can have my manager set up a time for me to meet you."

"Perfect!" I said, "I'm so excited now!" I was so happy I jumped up and hugged him.

"Great so it's settled!" he said happily. "Hey it's still kinda early, wanna hang out for a little bit."

"Sure." I said. seeing as I had no plans alone at home.

He turned on the TV and quickly flipped to Netflix and then clicked on Friends. He was already in the middle of an episode.

"I forgot how much you love this show." I giggled.

"The best." He said simply.

We watched the TV for hours and just let the episodes continue playing. I started dozing off and eventually woke up resting my head on Charlie's shoulder.

Maybe he didn't notice I was falling asleep? I just played it off like I knew what was happening when I really didn't. It was really late now and I figured Charlie needed rest before he left for his tour so I decided to head home.

"I think I better head home, it's getting late." I said quickly. "And you should get some rest before your big shot tour" I teased him.

He laughed a little under his breath "That's right. I'm a big shot now."

"Don't forget me when you're super rich and famous."

"I could never." he said. His hazel eyes sparkled as he looked right into my eyes. There was a long pause and I didn't know what to do. So I started walking towards the door.

"Here let me walk you home." He said opening the door for me.

"Thanks" I said walking out the door.

It was a short walk to my house next door, but it felt like it took forever. It was awkward? Charlie looked at me different earlier. What was that about?

We got to my house and I opened the door.

"Listen, thank you so much for coming to visit me later. I don't think I could make it without you." He said.

"And thank you for getting me out of the house!" I laughed. "You know I'm gonna miss you this summer!"

We both stood there looking at each other. My heart started to beat faster, and it was at this moment that I knew I had feelings for Charlie.

He stared deep into my eyes and I thought I saw him leaning closer towards me. Was he going to kiss me? I think he was! I quickly opened my door and stepped inside.

"Thanks for walking me home! See you later." I said.

"Yeahh...see ya" He said low.

Oh my goodness. What did I just do. Charlie was about to kiss me. Isn't that what I wanted? What is wrong with me. All these feelings are so new. I needed to talk to someone.

I decided that tomorrow I would call Hallie, my closest friend of all the band girls. Surely she went through something like this, right? I could only hope.
